INSIGHT

Coffee's Polyphenol Benefits

  • Coffee's polyphenols support gut microbiome diversity and mitochondrial health.
  • They act as mitochondrial uncouplers, promoting mitogenesis and protecting mitochondria.
ADVICE

Avoid Dairy & Sugar in Coffee

  • Avoid adding cream, real sugar, or milk to coffee to retain its benefits.
  • Instead, use unsweetened coconut milk, allulose, or MCT creamers for sweetness and creaminess.
ADVICE

Skip Dairy, Use Non-Dairy Milks

  • Avoid dairy in coffee because it binds polyphenols and contains immune-reactive 5GC sugar.
  • Try non-dairy milks like unsweetened coconut, walnut, or hazelnut as alternatives.
